Am Rachael, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in nursing in August 2019. I have worked in the Progressive Step-down Unit (PCU) and did a board exam in 2020, which I passed well. I have gained knowledge from different nursing learning experiences, hence gaining a lot of skills from the positive working departments I have contributed to during my nursing profession, which helped me increase patient care outcomes. Every organization has its ethics, which helps guide the day-to-day activities of the organization. Ethical issues in health care happen when choices need to be made to improve the quality of patient care, solve clinical relationships, and grow morally, but the options fail to be made. Nurses spend most of their time with patients more than other medical practitioners, so any ethical decision-making should involve them. Most nurses undergo moral distress due to poor decisions made by nurse managers and other leaders.
